EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to June 11th, 1993, capturing a general view of the iconic Bull Ring shopping centre in Birmingham. The image showcases one of the magnificent bull sculptures adorning the exterior of this bustling retail hub. However, what makes this particular moment significant is that it was taken after a destructive storm had left its mark on the sculpture. The damaged bull sculpture stands as a testament to nature's power and resilience. Despite being weathered by the elements, it still exudes an air of strength and majesty. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, beauty can be found. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to an era when Trewin Copplestone's artistry graced Birmingham's streetscape. His sculptures became synonymous with the Bull Ring shopping centre and added an artistic touch to its architectural grandeur. Furthermore, this image captures not only art but also history - showcasing how Birmingham has evolved over time into a vibrant retail destination. The sign on the approach road leading to New Street Station highlights its significance as a central transportation hub for visitors and locals alike. John Reavenall skillfully captured this moment in time through his lens, immortalizing both beauty and destruction within one frame. As we reflect on this print today, it invites us to appreciate art's ability to endure despite life's storms while reminding us of our own capacity for resilience amidst challenges.
